It is time for ecommerce news of the week. This week’s news is about growth in ecommerce in China, increase in mobile devices, omnichannel experience, and more. Read more to see what Prisync team thought was important in ecommerce this week.

The number of mobile devices used is increasing as we have said many times before. Apple has revealed the number of active Apple products being used. Apple says now a billion Apple devices are active now. And this has made Apple $18.4 billion profit. 74,779 iPhones were sold in the first quarter, which suggests online shopping rates on mobile devices will increase even more in the upcoming months.

Now grocery stores are also coming up with apps as well. You can see the items on shelves via your phone and start shopping right away. Also the app allows big companies like Coca Cola advertise within the app. And these apps allow more personalised shopping thanks to its ability to understand user’s previously purchased items and recommend related products.

These are great examples but are the retailers paying enough attention to omnichannel in general?

Great news is that customers and companies believe omnichannel attempts are good enough! In a research in US made by TimeTrade, shoppers think that shops provide consistent customer experience across all channels, and it doesn’t need great improvements.
